Using the Discipline of Vision for Sustainability: Edie Farwell, 6pm-8pm, Rockefeller Center

Research increasingly finds a connection between the power of the mind and what happens in our life. The practice of vision helps give us direction, motivation and clarity in both what we want to achieve, and how we want to be. Vision is a powerful tool to help bring about the specifics of a sustainable world, especially since environmental and social change workers are often engaged in opposing something. Rather than what we don't like, what is it we want to see happen? What does a sustainable energy system on campus look like? A social system? Your work load? Vision is a source of inspiration, a source of action and commitment, a guide for prioritizing, making decisions, and keeping focused. This workshop will include the experience of a visioning process that you can directly apply to a sustainability project, aspiration or initiative you are working on or thinking about. Register for this FREE great event here!
